Hello, I have made more full touhou fangames on scratch and I am currently working on the biggest one of them all. Also there's a lot of other people who also make full touhou games with scratch.
This feels so complete it's awesome. The gameplay was engaging the controls are great and the art beauteous. Only thing that looked slightly off was Reimu, because she didn't have visible eyebrows but that could have been an artistic choice. All and all a great game that I would play again.
first i'd like to give credit where credit is due. you made this on scratch. that's insane, props to you! for a fangame, it is quite difficult for me! that may just because i'm a beginner at rhythm games, but i liked how challenging it was. it was an acceptable amount of difficulty, and i enjoyed playing it.
the overall quality wasn't too great, but it makes sense for a scratch fangame.
i'm a new touhou fan. i haven't played any of the official games yet, but i do think this has room for improvement. the main aspect that i feel needs to be improved is the artwork. i understand that art isn't the easiest thing in the world. i'm an artist, and damn, is it hard. but tracing art? not the best decision ever.
now i would be okay with it if the original artist was like..... making a base for something and just required credit. but there was no base, and no credit. you simply just drew over someone else's artwork, and that isn't okay. i'm not going to yell at you for it, i'm just saying that you need to do better.
if you aren't going to draw anything, please just use a base and credit the base maker. using bases with credit is actually a genuine way to start doing art. eventually, when you're comfortable with using it, you can move on to broader things, like sketching and lineart and coloring etc. etc.
i would also critique the character design but learning character design is an absolute pain in the ass. maybe just don't use such extreme colors for now.
the music isn't well... impressive. i don't know too many touhou songs, but i wasn't really into it. it's fine, there's nothing horrible about it, this is just a personal opinion. i don't feel like i have enough experience to discuss this, so moving on.
overall it's mediocre. it has potential, but definitely lots of room for work.
Thanks for the feedback! I am aware of all these problems. At the time I made this I really thought what I did was ok but I was wrong. I am working on completelly recreating this and it's sequel from the beggining with just things I have created. Sorry for causing trouble, I'll do my best to not do it again.
Thank you! If you are interested I did make another touhou fangame after this one, it was released a month ago and I believe it is a little better than this one.
>traced art >fanmade characters not only look awful, but their art is aswell >terrible music >terrible cg, looks eye blinding and you could've just used touhou danmaku for everything >terrible hitboxes overall the game is shit, even resurrection of heaven's liqour is better than this, not only that you might as well stop using terrible scratch and switch to danmakufu lmao
it could've been better bro, i dont know crap about scratch but everything is eyeblinding, occasionally some bosses use normal touhou danmaku sprites when most of the time it uses eyeblinding circles and shapes. I don't get that?? and they traced dairi's art for no reason, they could've just used the original ones without fucking them up with the black lines

this is magic. HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE AN ENTIRE TOUHOU GAME IN SCRATCH?!

love it! was interested more in the story than i thought i would be. really good! will play more in the future.

(this is just criticism, i'm not trying to hate)

TLDR: give credit when tracing, only trace if you're allowed to, try something other than scratch, work on character design. hope this was helpful! :D

no worries, you're fine :)
That final boss was a tear jerker for me and I was so amazed when I heard owen was her start playing , because I love that song.
Pretty good considering this was made using scratch!
For a Touhou fangame made entirely with Scratch, this is quite impressive.
Very impressive, some minor details that could be improved, but pretty fun and nice. Would like to see more of your work!
Thank you! If you are interested I did make another touhou fangame after this one, it was released a month ago and I believe it is a little better than this one.
Whoaa nice how did you make this using scratch??

...
anyway, thank you for your feedback, I will try to do better on my next projects.
please do
well, to be fair, this was coded on scratch, so quality was extremely limeted. This is about as good as you can get on scratch.
it could've been better bro, i dont know crap about scratch but everything is eyeblinding, occasionally some bosses use normal touhou danmaku sprites when most of the time it uses eyeblinding circles and shapes. I don't get that?? and they traced dairi's art for no reason, they could've just used the original ones without fucking them up with the black lines
well just check out scratch (free to use) and see how limited the coding is.
This game is awesome!
Thank you!
